2/15/25 – Shiur 502 – Trump's disengagement plan for Gaza – Is Gaza Halachically part of Eretz Yisroel?

Welcome to the Yeshiva Shalmayla, this is David Lichtenstein. This week we're going to be speaking about the Gaza Strip. As we all know, President Trump has suggested turning it into Riviera on the Mediterranean and sending the Gazans to either Egypt or to Jordan, something which I think is a fantastic idea. It's impossible to live with these animals. so the question is if he did and israelis moved in there so is it have it does it have a deniverity stroll would you be hive and true mr maistress

Would there be a din of mitzvahs Yishavara to stroll on the Gaza? Would there be a din of kafura?

of Eretz Yisrael if it was in the Gaza many other halachas too we're gonna have the Reish Koyol from Reb Tzi Koshelovsky's Koyol he's also the head of the OU in Eretz Yisrael his name is Reb Sacher Doev Kralovsky and um He knows these halachas firsthand because he has to pass again for the OU. Do you take Trumus and Maistress and do you take them with the bracha? You can always do it with Khmer, you can always do it, but do you do it with...

Then we're going to have a historian, Rabbi Ari Waxman. He's a tour gardener. He's a historian. He's lectured about this. so we have the right people for the job. should be for a very interesting program. Is Gaza Eretz Yisrael? Just as an aside, interestingly, in Shoftim, it says that So it seemed to be the case, obviously the Rambam disagrees. So it is... rather complex Ultimately, It's the Machlekes.

He wrote a long letter to his shver saying that it has an inverted stroll with a map. And Rabbi Yashiv writes, thank you very much for your beautiful Torah, but... It's still a suffolk. And until Mashiach comes, we're not going to know. So I'm afraid to pask in one way or the other. It's fascinating to see a letter from a shveran in Edim. I don't know. Since Reb Kivega, has there been such a shveran, a son of law? Since the Bach and the Taz? something very rare in history.

Before we go to our program, I'd like to clean up a few things. Here's a voicemail. We got one or two of these about a woman who was outraged about speaking Lush in horror about Ellal Airlines. I read a letter on air of a man complaining about the high prices on LL Airlines and you named by name the two from men who own LL Airlines. and you asked them to come on your show, I wanted to know...

What is the halacha that says you're permitted to do that? The letter had lush and hurrah in it. I felt like calling out these two men by name if the letter accused them of price gouging with public shaming for them and their families. These two men didn't break the law. They didn't commit any crimes. It's not a issue. It's not a danger in the community to have them in the community.

This woman was outraged when I spoke about the owners of LL, Daryl Hagler and Ken Rosenberg, both of whom live in Muncie, who've made well over a half a billion dollars. in the last year by doubling, tripling, or quadrupling the prices of L.O. And it's price gouging. You see that in L.A. They just came out with price gouging. You can't double or triple rents.

So many houses are burned down, people are looking for a furniture kit. And it's common during COVID, you couldn't price gouge and charge more than X for Purell. So societally, we understand that somebody who takes advantage of somebody is down as a price gouger.

There's something wrong about it. And halachically, it's very hard to enforce because we don't have a common besden, but if we did, these are the types of things that the toiveer er would do. So I want to talk about this. There's a pischei tshuva in simen kufnun vav. Kufnun vav is a simen at the end, sort of the beginning of Archaim, that's agreeable for all the mitzvahs hayoyim that are not nichlow till then.

So the Pisgah Tshuva talks about Oshon Hara, and he says, He said, they all scream about Lashon Hara, Lashon Hara Lam, and hey, go to Gehenem the easy way. And I scream the opposite. People who don't... I remember when we spoke about molestation. We would constantly get Lashenghara or Lashenghara to reveal molesters. He says, The exploited. They abused from the hand of the abuser. That's worse slushing her. He says, He's plotting on his friend.

Would you not tell your friend she is armed from Isolash and Hara? It's not just the fascist's money too. He says all these things when you're protecting somebody's money. In Shidduch, it's one of the worst things. People don't say what they should say and it causes, you know, terrible. It causes divorce and after divorce, Humpty Dumpty. sat on a fence. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again. A lot of people, they get divorced. Hearts get broken, and they never get put back together again. And whose fault is it? The person who was being mocked by the Lashon Hara. And he says, not speaking then? It's Godel Avaynei Min Sai. Worth seeing this, Besai Tshuva. Terrible thing. You see somebody plotting against somebody.

with a shidduch, or with money, etc. So why is that? And I'll tell you why. The concept of Lashon Hara, which is Avin HaMur Maid, is because there's one protection that we have. against addiction, against mental health issues. against suicide on its stream. And what is that? The power of community.

Community Tzibur by Klal Yisrael of the Dover Kodesh. We dive in Tfilah about Tzibur three times a day. There's a concept of Arvos. We have responsible for your brother and for your sister. And what is a community like? When they tried to move the great stones of the pyramid, they couldn't figure out how to do it.

And one genius had an idea. He said, take a tiny filament that a baby could snap, but wrap a hundred of them together, and you'll create something powerful. That's a rope. And when they wanted to create the rope,

It created a brood. What do you mean? How could one, how could nothing plus nothing plus nothing equal something? If each one of these threads is merely a nothing, how could it, you know what I mean? Zero plus zero plus zero, you have height to zero. But they tried it, and they... created the mighty rope. and the rope which is made up of microfilaments can pull the stones of the pyramids

which raised hundreds of tons, that's the power of rope, and that is what is atzibur. Atzibur is a tapestry where each thread in itself is nothing, but together it creates something beautiful. Atzibur is a great orchestra. Now, and what does atzibur do?

that Cyborg defends against addiction i'm repeating what you know good early psychology say it produces it creates mental health it's the scaffolding around me and you when we are about to fall let's see where it comes and what's the most dangerous thing somebody who dissolves the ties between us. Somebody who dissolved the pieces of the rope, the threads that hold us together, the ligaments that hold us together. And you know what it is? That is Lashon Hara. Lashon Hara is the death of Tzibor.

So the Peschi Tshuva says, there's another death to Tzibor. And who is that? Somebody who, when you know somebody is trying to damage Tzibor and you don't reveal him, somebody wants to cut that rope. Somebody wants to unwind. Somebody wants to put damaged instruments into the orchestra. He says he wants to blow up Awad Seabor. That's even greater than the Lush and Hara that one person will do.

So what we do is not wash in harachas v'shalom. It's a mitzvah. It's to protect the tzibor. And when we discuss about people who gouge and exploit, it's to protect the tzibor. That is the pshad and the great pis chay tshuva.

Now, last week I had a... I was asked to attend renewal, which is... I never got away for Shabbos. I talked to my wife, so I can't remember in decades that I did, but I was approached by Mandy Ryan, who I know well, and he said, it's Mamash, Amima, Amimed. He said you're going to have 300 people who donated livers, kidneys, etc.

300 means 5% of the donors of the United States, the whole country, last year, are in one muck. So I went, and I heard some fabulous things, and once... statistic i heard and it and it totally invigorated me in the entire united states

There are maybe 1,500 altruistic donors. In other words, it's not a family member, but a stranger who was a donor. He said, of altruistic donors in the united states with 0.01 and change percent of the population right or tenth of a percent but with 20 percent of donors imagine that staggering statistic in the New York area we are 70% of altruistic donors

And why do I say this? Because there's a lot of Lashonara and Klaal Yisrael. We have, sadly, we spoke about, we have people who, you know, cheat on mortgages, create, you know, we have people who, all kinds of, we have stories. So let's talk about something that's what I have. 20% of all the donors in the United States are from Ethan. Astonishing, astonishing. Can't think of a statistic like it.

i heard two other stories but first i want to play a recording i want to play a message About 40 years ago, the state of Israel embarked on a project that was called Project Solomon, where about 17,000 Ethiopian Jews were airlifted from Ethiopia to Eretz Yisrael. Ethiopia was in the midst of a very bloody civil war and the Yidden were caught in between the gunfire between the two battling armies.

Eretz Yisrael, the state of Israel, sent one of their top statesmen to negotiate with the prime minister of Ethiopia, who was then a communist, to ask him to allow the state of Israel to bring these Jews to Eretz Yisrael. And the Prime Minister demanded a tremendous amount of money before he would allow them to be taken from the country.

In his negotiations with the prime minister, he managed to pull down the price, what he was asking for, to a much more reasonable amount. But the prime minister insisted on one more thing, which seemed to be an insurmountable problem. He said he would only let the Jews go if the President of the United States, who was then George Bush, would write a letter to him addressing him as Prime Minister of Ethiopia and requesting that he free the Jews.

And the reason why it was such a difficult thing to procure such a letter was because at that point, the United States did not recognize the government of this prime minister. And that's exactly what he wanted. And so the state of Israel sent the states... Washington to to write this letter.

President Bush was in a quandary. On the one hand, it's the honor of the United States of America. On the other hand, so many lives at stake. He called a meeting of his closest cabinet members, and they went for a vote. And they were down to the last vote. The vote was even. And one man stood up and he said he was the deciding vote.

He said, I have to tell you a story that took place in the late 40s when a fire broke out in an apartment building and three African-American children were caught in an apartment on the fourth floor and the seemingly there was no way to save them. and all of a sudden a dark-skinned gentleman took a cover, a blanket of some sort, drenched it in water, wrapped it around himself, ran up the stairs, broke into the apartment, and saved the lives of the three children.

By the time he came down with the children, the parents who had gone away for a moment had come back. And they began to hug and kiss him. You saved our children. What can we give you to show our thing? The fellow said, I'm a Jew from Ethiopia. What I just did was a mitzvah, and Jews don't sell mitzvahs. said Secretary Colin Powell, I was one of those three children. I think today is my turn to do my mistake. To save Ethiopian Jews. And he voted.

should write the letter which he did and the rest is history. So here's a story about how one person who saved a few African children, one of whom was Colin Powell, saved, in effect, was the lover. that saved 19,000 Ethiopian Joes. Imagine that. And I heard another story.

two other stories i want to share with you i was at renewal again and somebody told me said i have a fabulous story i want to tell you i tried to get him online i just couldn't remember his name if he maybe wants to come i'll tell dial him the story if he hears this

He said that three yeshiva boys from Lakewood were in Florida. And they were yeshiva boys. They didn't have a lot of money. They had to rent a car to go from Florida to Lakewood. So they found some sketchy rental place that said they rented them a car. It looks so good, but you know it's cheap. And they took it while they're driving through, you know, mid-Atlantic states.

And the engine starts to knock, then it knocks more, and they pull up in the hood. You know, what do three yeshiva boys know about a knocking engine? Bekitzah, an hour later, it gives one big knock, and it dies. And a friend leaves. Guy comes over. He says it can't be fixed. The engine is dead. So they call up the rental price. He says, look, just push it into the side. Leave it there.

abandoned the car. So he said, but you have to get us another car. He says, well, you know, for what you guys paid, I'm not getting you another car. And he hung up on them. What do you do? You're stuck in North Carolina. They didn't have much money. They decided to hitch. They're standing, I guess, what is it, the 195 and this huge highway in the hitching. Half an hour later, this guy pulled up in a pickup truck.

Real redneck. And he says, where are you boys going? They said, well, we're going north. He said, where? They said, Lakewood, New Jersey. He said, happen. I'm going to give you a ride. They said, what? For Lakewood, New Jersey? 700 miles away. This guy says, I'm going to give you a ride. So they said, why? Like, they got scared. Like, is this like some secret killer or something? He said, well, I work for an Orthodox Jew and he treats me fantastically. He said, I want to pay him back.

He said, who is that Jew? He said, how are you going to know a Jew? There's a million Jews in America. They said, try us. He said, okay. His name is Schattenstein. So they got in the thing, and he drove them back to Lakewood. So here's a story how one person, right, and me, this typhus, can make a difference. And... A few years ago, I spoke by the Chabad Asifa, and I sat next to the chief rabbi of Russia. And he told me, he said that Putin had a next door neighbor who was a Yid.

treated him wonderfully gave him challenge on shabbos he like treated him like there's the cute kid next door and he said because of that he has treated the yidin in russia most of the oligarchs are jews he's treated chabad very well he hasn't in his childhood the jews were good and to a certain extent trump too he always likes to say you know his accountant was jewish he had a good experience with it he was good you know ruby schron had he had a wonderful experience with and steve

And so you see the ramifications. Lamaisa, they look at us as one. But we also have to worry, chas v'shalem lahapa. when a yead makes a scandal, when he makes a robbery, if he doesn't treat his business as well as associates wealth.

and he has a nursing home and he doesn't feed them well. The same way it works L'tayvach, as for Sholem, it could work L'tayvach too. So it talks about, I'm just not showing the sharing with you, the stories that I had about the Achrayas that we have as a Eid, of Arvos, how one of our medias could affect... Just be honest, I'm going to say something that I was very proud of. A few weeks ago, we were voted in cranes out of 100,000 businesses, one of the top 40 to work in New York.

And Ariel Feldhamer who works for me said that we won top 50 in the last door in the United States. And what do I say? Did I say because, you know... we know that a guy is at salam aleikim too and we know that uh like the rambam says and say for a mitzvah i think it's that it's the job of right goes on um asylum too and so when we hear these stories we should think about the putin story we should think about this boy story we should think about the story of Colin Powell and how, when we do this,

We were Kaddashem Shemayim. Not only is it Kiddashem Shemayim, but it would actually be Matzol Mephoshes. How many? 19,000 in the case of Colin Powell. I don't know how many hundreds of thousands Edens maybe were treated better because of this

Before we go to our guest, I want to say Avarotan the Parsha. He says, Kofa Aleim Harka Gigas, after they said, Nasa Venishma. So the morale was Niskasha. He says, if it was ready, they said, Nasa Venishma, watch the Kofa Aleim Harka Gigas.

So the morale sort of says this word, but I'm going to say it with a little bit of a different nussach. I saw an article in the New York Times, and the article was from a very, very woke, progressive woman. The article was titled, A Marriage Starts to Unravel on the Honeymoon. What was the marriage? This is a very off-geclered progressive person. She told her husband, No, we don't need fidelity in our marriage. And if you want to have other Noshim while we're married, it's fine with me.

and she really thought intellectually and how on the marriage during the honeymoon he's texting other women when he wants to get them together with them and how she's sitting there and she's pressed and she wants to jump off a bridge right tomorrow says

The Koffer Le'em Harka Gigas, and I'm teaching Shana Maral, there's parts of the Torah in the Hanami, Tifa parts of the Torah, there'll be Kabbalah, there'll be Soed, etc. That's the Nas of Eneshma. But Rabban Shomdem told them, there's Chalakim of the Torah, that they're real. They're as real as science. They're so real that, so for example, let's say Trump, you know, we all love Trump and all his...

a foreign cabinet would vote. And the Republicans would vote, and even the Democrats unanimously, that they're banning the speed of light. They're declaring that the speed of light is now bottle, and to improve in communications, we're going to double the speed of light. or they'll do something they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll vote that pi is three not three one two four seven nine six two three four seven

It's too complicated. We're making for now on Pi is 3. Or we rule, pass by, and you're going to get the UN also to vote, that fire is not flammable. Or gravity doesn't work. No, I dropped a bowling ball, right? So it's... You can't change these facts. These are the Rashi HaBria, right? These are the signs that the Rabbani Shalom's conveyor the Bria in, right? So, careful America gets this halakim in the Tyra, that if you...

If you violate them, it's the same thing. Honor your parents. Don't honor your parents. See what happens. It says, don't commit adultery. Commit adultery. I was telling you, infidelity shatters trust. It'll destroy your family. It'll lead to psychological ruin, to financial ruin. Even in secular, it doesn't matter. Do not steal. Theft in any form will

Corrode the society. It leads to retaliation. It destroys reputations. It will destroy your economic system. Do not be a false witness. It's all from the Decalogue. Lying about others. quarter, and that it leads to broken relationships, societal collapse, the collapse of the justice system, or loisachmaid, jealousy, resentment, crime, you can't be woke past this. By respecting marriage.

All these things, even the Shin Hara, it'll destroy the community you're in. It'll destroy friendship. It'll destroy reputation. So, what is the Tyra telling you? It's true that there's a lot of the Tyra that's Dvarim, Niskovim, Bahari, Kenim, you know, beyond and beyond, but there's another part of the Tyra too, and that Koffa Lam Harkigit violates this.

Do it at your own risk. The New York Times did not have the follow-up article today, but this honeymoon, it's over. This marriage, it's over. Everything this girl learned in Columbia and Harvard and Stanford and blah from her trade for professors. I don't really care whether you're religious or not, it's gonna land on you that mountain.

So when we look at the Mishpete HaTorah, we have to say, not only are they dvarim niskavim, but they're also halichays olam lay. These are the pathways of life. If we want a happy life, if we want to have... a productive life, we don't have a functional, if we want to have functional relationships with our children, with our parents, with our friends, with our communities, Kafala and Archigegas follow these rules. You violate them, and Pi is three.

Let's go, Tower Riddle of the Week! What does Rashi say? Hashem is greater than all the false Elohims in the world, right? Hashem Chayel. So, here's a Pella. What does David say in Telam? We all say this. David says it. Are we going to say now? literally almost the exact same words are we now gonna say that Of course not. It's just like by David it's not Mechiach anything. Why by Yisrash does that sentence lead us to this conclusion? Okay, here's a second riddle.

Vaishak lay Moshe bowed and he kissed his father-in-law so the Michalta says Moshe kissed his father-in-law. So you see that he's chayev. The person is chayev and recovered of his father-in-law. Very, very interesting halacha, right? And the, the Mejrash Tehillim learns his Deen of the Kibadaviv. From, from David, he called Shol Avi. The same thing. So here's the question.

A comment of your father-in-law, just like Ovev, to comment Ovev, that's Oshinah Medrash, Suni Gamara says, when she's married Pata from Kibadavia. Why? Because she's mechuyiv more to be mechavid her husband than her father. He overtakes the din of Kibadav. Question is, if the husband is also mechuyiv in the Kibadav, just like you, so she should be mechuyiv in Kavidav. just like the father the husband wouldn't

overrule, override, the father-in-law, because the husband is also mechayiv in the kaved of the father-in-law. So why is the halacha that she's not mechayiv anymore, bechavid aviyah, because she's only mechavid, bechavid abaylah. That's the second riddle of the week. If you want to leave a message by phone or dial in by phone to listen, in America our number is 732-806-8700. In England it's 44, that's the country code, 3301170250. Eretz Yisrael it's 023720304. Let's go to our wonderful guest!

Joining us from Arach Yisrael is Rabbi Sakhar Dayev Krakowski. He's the director, he's the head of OU in Eretz Yisrael. He's the Reich, Kyle Barab Tzvi Koshielewski, he's a palman of Rabelski, of Rabbi Shua, of Rabbi Feinstein, that's Rabbi Feinstein's son. Welcome, Rabbi Shachadaev. at home. Gaza. If somebody lives in Gaza, if Trump gets Gaza back and he opens up the Riviera on the Mediterranean, would a person be Mekayim Yishev Eretz Yisrael? Would it have a Dimef Kura Eretz Yisrael?

Three. What was the second sign? Would it be Kuro in Arachistral? Kuro. Yeah. And the last thing is, would there be a dead of Kroon as a maistress in Arachistral? All right. That's more than one question. This is your question.

loaded in their own right. Um, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, so, you know, that, the, also has many gales in terms of what's been a visual art we saw historically a different part of art shows a close on the stocking that I was promised later on that's what's referred to throughout as what Eric Gasol and Google I thought will be. And then later on, when Carlisle came into Eric Gasol in the School of Joshua, so they didn't do a full Kimbush event.

Parts about it's all that weren't, you know, maybe even more beyond the border. There's also a really odd name that was conquered before quality salt came into earth itself. and became part of our struggle. I don't think it's a coup of art that people don't realize it was Leisureman and Dobbins could be.

Nick Barrett and Archie Shaw. So he did it to Kufa where he actually had him in a big cover and Archie Shaw. Once the rest of Archie Shaw was conquered, once it was a Kimbush and Archie Shaw proper. on the outside of the Jordanian. So there are and then The Trans-Jordanian became part of Eric Tussaud, and, uh, Vashar Benham was an Eric Tussaud as, uh, Malcolm Kula for a Tukufa. So, um... And then there's the...

They were Irish, and there there was also different areas or areas that didn't quite have enough cable, but there was an issue.

And there are different areas that have left already. We find that there's different areas in terms of Mitzvah Tulu-Spa'ar. There are areas that definitely were not part of our actual proper, but had Mitzvah Tulu-Spa'ar to a certain extent, meaning they might have had trouble us a nicer. And that's when we talk to the Yemeni. We talk about the newer areas, about certain areas, what then they have. And Shri is very nicer. You do nicer shaming or nicer on it.

In the seven-year cycle, Shemitah was the six years of Mises, and two of the years are Mises on the end of the year. Four years are nice or shiny. As a dancer, what do you get in the place that you master? Do you take off ties during? Shneika, what nicer do you take off? You take off nicer on air, nicer shake. It's not part of the cycle.

areas that have different demons with regard to different mythos that's where they start. When Clyde Shaw came back there to Shaw, the place is already talked about. That's one of the... The difficulties in coming back to RFC Shaw is knowing, being familiar with Mississippi as far as, and the higher part of that is also knowing the exact influence in RFC Shaw. And, you know, actually, I wrote a...

So, you know, right there, how we went, left his fight, and then the Chazanesh came back, and he, you know, threw life, all the love you. I'm not just a police officer, so to speak, in many ways that took the place of reshining them and offering them together and other areas of stuff and awful we have, you know, where there's a complete mystery. Until today, exactly, you know, have a past and have a life for someone to go from the larger, the shining, to arrive into what we do.

much, without much else added. So, how do I feel with Cailin and a lot of soldiers? and, you know, there were definitely Alder to Kaczynski and, uh, but, uh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, completely established by the relation of ourselves. There are discrepancies in certain areas where people will draw the lines between the different dialogues.

You know, getting back to Gaza more from the end of the year, there's a issue in Gaza for many, many years. You know, it's part of it. So it's mentioned in various points in time, and there was definitely a addition of issues at various points in time. With regard to regular mixes of police parts on a regular daily basis of comisitis, that's less of a Shiloh. It's harder you have to take off comisitis than a Shiloh. Maybe I was making a brahawk phase.

This is one of the things you deal with often. It's always nice, especially when it gets even more complicated in places like wineries where you can have products from different areas mixed together.

In other places, you can have a citrus, what they call a... a packaging plant, which really means a collection facility where all the different, you know, orange farmers bring their oranges through and they get sorted out into grade A, grade B, grade C, oranges for import, for export, for, you know, for all sorts of different things. selling locally or for exporting, so.

The diaspora, and you need to take some of the ISIS off. And you have three chakras that come in each one from a different area. If they have a different level of field, one is in the land, which would be high in the ISIS. Because the land is high in the ISIS, because again, some of the ISIS. even if they aren't dissolved proper, that they aren't dissolved in all. So if you have, uh, if you have, if you have, if you have something which, which, which is.

which is a little bit more of a shival, either a shival, what area, what part of it is, or whether it's a shival. Well, not as much as Shiloh, but a Lower Dargo. It's an area where we work. Because now we're no longer ready to take off terrorism. ISIS, like Ashton, and that's really where we get to. When it comes to, you know, the Gazas, where do you...

draw that goal of what Hazal says, Ashkel and Doraima. Where exactly is that line? And it could be that the answer to the past is that most of... Gaza, all of it is below that line. But, you know, that's something which is much less clear exactly where to draw it. smack in Archie Stroll as Key Bush Island is trying. Which goes, I mean, the launch in Aramban is, Clearly not that way to wash it around them as clearly.

which is very strange because the Navi says, So the Halakha Lamaitha had a most price scheme hold about, uh, uh, Gaza today isn't arisen in our system. So when it comes to Gaza today, it actually doesn't sweep a lot this past week. It was already a little bit too dangerous to go in, but until the Shamiko, that was a place where they did take a lot of pause, but not so much because of it.

It's probably going to have this problem because it's definitely, you know, you don't have any Jewish farmers there, so there's no Shiloh about it being. So, again, with regard to Troubles and ISIS, everybody takes Troubles and ISIS in such an area, because that's been part of the goal of Samstagan. It was part of Kiyosha Island in China when it comes to...

Again, without the Rambam, the Rambam is a bit difficult, and there's a bit of a discrepancy to the Rambam and the Rambam. There's a lot of issues made on it. Obviously, yeshiva charade, I just saw the kind of yeshiva charade, so to speak, on it. You know, it's one of the more talked about objects that people try to have, you know, very few children on it. But at the end of the day, that would be sheepish around them.

best work to everyone, I'm afraid of it, and not necessarily, you know, all the rest of the residing for the past, which is everywhere from the Navi, the Kibosh Island, the island of China, it definitely was when I called it the Kibosh Island. I have over here, I did just a little research on it. Like he said, which is, again, you know what, we were going to write notes out of the time. Yeah, but he says,

Still, the advices are in Loi Petruami Maestris. So it would be high in Maestris, not out of Eretz Yisrael, but out of Eretz Amen. There's the land surrounding Eretz Yisrael, surrounding Eretz Yisrael, also high in Maestris. Right. And that kind of goes back to also gives him truth with her. Right, now here's the Marit who has a differing opinion. The Marit writes,

He says that in Eulam there would be Pata from Trumas, Amaitris, and Shriyas. Which is interesting. You would think it's not worse than Eretz Amin. You know what I mean? He says also, Marit's hell that there were Pata from Trumas, Amaitris, and Shriyas. These things are, they would be popped up from Trumas and I said, it's very interesting now. So it very much is. And, you know, this would be a cool way to learn. So it's a very fascinating subject.

It's difficult because, again, the child always could draw. You know, I have a one-time staff, but before the schmiko, I had a meeting with one of the organizations that deals with, you know, the Mississippi's bar infection. I was very involved with the hothouses. in Gaza before this engagement. And when I was looking at a map, it seems, when you look at a map, it looks...

minuscule the difference in sheet of cases, but really here we're talking about 13 kilometers, right? So let's say eight miles for argument take, right? And he says in those eight miles, you're going to have... Tons and tons of fields. Yeah. It can make a tremendous map to me on where you draw, you know, exactly where you draw the line. It's a very fascinating subject, and it's a very unclear subject. But, you know.

when it comes to Trump and ISIS. So, yes, I think that's what I believe in. I believe that Kamala and Haga was cautious in those days, but I believe that Kamala and Haga was. So, yes, they're Trump and ISIS, but without a problem, I like them really because of what they're doing and they're chatting. And when it comes to Shemitah, the past was against the dais that you are high shish for.

Although she doesn't want to be more enacted. But in conditionally, we're much more cow. But the shot was exactly where to draw the line. So here's something interesting. I saw that in his fabulous C-Baronis. It's also his true master of Chaim Kinevsky. He tries to draw all the light, you know. Right. He drew a map himself by hand. Yeah. I was very talented. Yeah. So I doubt them when I come to that. So he said, like, it's wrong. So he wrote a letter and basically he writes that the Gavolt

On the back, at the bottom, is the Nahal Nisrayim. Nahal Nisrayim is a Nahal that's called El Arish. It's some type of a wadi that flows across the top of the Sarnoy, and it goes all the way from the Mediterranean, and it goes all the way to the Amamella. in rainy season. And he wrote a letter to Rebel Yashiv. And he wrote on that. Yeah, I wrote out all the borders of Mitzray, of Ar-Gerit Yisrael, which clearly leave Aza as high as in Tralysimitris.

and Yeruchim, and Bersheva, and Yeraz, and Mitzvah Ramon would be south. And he wrote him a whole letter, which is really here in his beer, with all the pie skin. And Rabbi Yasha very cryptically writes him back. He writes, I reviewed what you wrote about the Southern British Larch Trail. established on trustworthy sources. So he says, It's actually interesting because after Rav Yasha was missed there, so Rav Shrati.

changed slightly where he viewed the border to fit more with the Crime KSK shape. Crime KSK wasn't shaken by his follow-up laws not being masked. So in the end, he sent people to Crime KSK a few times in his eye. And after, you know, after, you know, after, you know, as much as that was, you know,

So according to him, most of southern Israel is outside of Israel. In other words, once you get past Yerucham a little bit, I mean, I'm going to put this map online, but it becomes all parts of him, Tumas, and Isris, and Shias. Which is very good because the Shwee is all the different coolers. you know, the cooler rough cook, you know, kind of cooler bites and better than they all have.

too late till them have problems with them. The easiest thing is you take from the far away. So let me go to the northern border. According to Chaim Kinevsky, the ceremon is totally an artist role. Right. What is the OU's position on this? Sorry, mine's left to first and second blackout. You have to ask that, but they're in the northern border, and then I just hear that.

Yeah, Haramon. Haramon. Chaim says it's totally in Arach Yisrael. It goes all the way to the Nahar Daneset goes Arach Yisrael. And now the Israelis have recaptured the Haramon now. Right. So... I don't know if they're farming there yet, but...

You know, the truth is that we have always viewed, I think, most of the Heshqarach things. So, again, we won't take too little. That was, like I said, in my way. I think there's a more confusing complaint in the Khabar. And, you know, and believe it all, you don't have... right on a liquid mixture, according to our money to do. But, you know, when you're certifying something like that, so I think the assumption is that they're taking into account.

in the Chandra as well. If they mix the wine before it's really nice, it complicates them further. But in general, We won't take off. We won't take some of the mice from areas and some areas and a lot of them already stopped taking them. We won't do that. It's all proper for the trillicinitis, meaning we would take trillicinitis from it, and we attachment it in to the overall amount that we have to tithe from what we use for the actual absorption of trillicinitis.

will be from what Vadi, I heard you saw, not from any other areas. Which map do you use? The Yarmouk, which is a river that's well into Syria. on, I'll tell you, a straight, you know, north of, you know, the left side of Israel. And there's a Ritzuah Yais, and it's called the Harmon, and it's called all the way up to Nahar Amna, which goes to Damascus. Any all of that?

This would be the Risa, Deca, Nisa. Like, whose map do you use to decide Nisa? So in the few times that we've had questions, you know, I brought it, we brought it to the, from some of these areas. But it wasn't a game. You know, for some reason, it was one time.

More really back down to the south, we had a place that was actually, it was a double layer silent, but somebody was very, tried to be very masculine with it. But once they were growing a certain type of cactus, which I didn't even think was. of edible vegetation that needed to have some ice or something which was palatable. It was used for some sort of

diet type of thing to suppress the appetite, but it was so bitter. I tasted it when I was in the middle of the production. They masked it with so much attention. So I was, I, I, I, I, to me it was possible that I didn't know, you know, just think like a, like a regular tree. And it's not highest. And it's almost a nice, it's not a tree. But aside from that, they were growing it.

Where is your time? Where is your time? Where is your time? Where is your time? Where is your time? Where is your time? I can sell nowadays, and maybe you can annex something onto I can sell. And, you know, all the shy-offs are found. But, you know, I could go right back and turn it off, but we had a shy-off one somewhere. and go along with... with Yarek about adopting an office with a brawl or without a brawl. He actually asked me what it was all about. And he was not making a brawl.

and he said, you know, that he thinks of us, you know, the better Mahajan we also shouldn't. But, you know, so it varies on each thing. You know, as a child, we always brought it to the place, and now we ask the child mostly to, you know. I sat with the commercial chef there and some of these types of shots. That worked a lot so gross and it worked a lot so white. you know, certain triumphs about, you know, who is here and there. But for the most part, it's very...

There's very little that comes from some of these areas, and the areas that there's a lot that comes from is already an overall general unhug. Now, if people don't want to leave R.T. straw, I'll see you at R.T. straw. They wouldn't go to Ms. Paramount, then. That is correct. I laughed about it because it was a seminary unit. So that goes through a lot, but they don't want to sleep outside of it. So if they want to sleep in the... I don't understand. I don't understand.

Um, yeah, so that's the same, you know, it's the same genre as the show, so, you know, like that. So there are, again, people who might maintain that there might be some sort of thing of K-Bush. Yeah, and certainly more than you have nowadays. Certainly, you know, David Perkowitz once told me that he had asked where he actually used to be to go.

The way the road went on the big car was you went a little bit to the Averly Yard and stuff. I'll be possible to the Averly Yard. And you also go through areas and big saw them there. But, you know, they're definitely our best to suffer. They're trying to do it. It's also, yeah, really active. about this is that, you know, if you can go to, you know, if there's any problem with anything, it's all to go. And we actually told them two out there, told them that one out there is that

He doesn't know if you're leaving your job, but they can go to her. That's the problem. If they think that's fine. If you're going to the north, you want to... It's to be with Iran and pass the official crisis for the next month. And so that even if it would be a problem, you're going there for the next day to be able to learn better. And that's in the fall. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I was in the south. I was probably driving north. It goes through certain areas. But even now, that's the way. Yeah. It's interesting that they discovered a rock, a cousin of mine, someone in America, a cousin of my father. And he built this on an area called, by the Arab nation, an area called Imakalina, which has a lot of,

And I locked a lot of these water canals that were built around it for interrogational purposes. So he designed all that. So I enjoyed doing some of the digs in order to sound it. Right, right. You know, there are certain findings like that that have It held somewhat of significance, so I at least don't really know how much of their among them to at least to an extent that it's about them a subject one way or not. Now, Charamon is in Gula Sarat Yisrael.

Right. And certainly rub, rub, rub, rub, rub, excuse me, we're crying all that way, too. And they do grow wine on the, on the things of it. Right, right. So that way, that's, you know, that's what I was referring to. It comes up often in the wine, in the. In the wine industry. In the, what do you call it? In the, in the, you know, you come in in the wineries. It comes up frequently in the child's house. So is there any?

Any other halacha about the Qulis that you would like to share with us? that maybe we haven't brought up. You know, I think that we're actually going to talk so much about Cora, but that might be what you asked at the beginning, but that might be what the task of Cora in our case of all is. You know, if it's a cameo. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe it's, you know, a clutch course and maybe by then it will have it then. Sometimes my kids come home from the Maistah Sakhenoch and they, you know, all sorts of midrashay chazal and, you know, a piece from the Zaya. Have a cool airbag. from various resigning and different things about them that lost a lot of value in the life of a shi-off. I don't know if I have a hard enough time for answering questions in that area. I walk away and you're supposed to know.

These are areas. I don't know. Maybe you can go out and go back to Fayetteville and after Abbey. But depending on the exact reason, it could be on that. That's a good question. And on its own, my person wants to be married. So depending on what the main reason is, that would probably answer the question if I've been as cool as I've been as strong. If I've been as strong now, if I've been as strong nowadays. And like I mentioned at the beginning of my short day rule.

Thank you very much for your time.

Joining us from Eretz Yisrael is Rabbi Ari Waxman. He's a very famous tour guide. He's researched and lectured on this topic. Welcome, Rabbi Wexman. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. So tell us, what is the history of the residents of Jews in the Gaza Strip?

who is buried there, whether or not they can see us there, whether or not they can see us there, whether or not they can see us there. We know President Trump is thinking about taking it back, which would be, I think, a wonderful thing. It's just impossible to live with these animals. But tell us, go back a few hundred years, thousand years, what's our history there? Okay, so let's start from the beginning and as far as... Our connection.

to AZA. Let's go back already. You know what? If I'm mentioning AZA, let's clarify. Also, we're talking about AZA, the city. The invention of the Gaza Strip is something modern. When I say modern, it's the war. Independence in 1948, when many of the Arabs ran away. So they ran to Yudah and Shimon of today, and many of them ran to Azaz before. Before the War of Independence, there were about 70,000 ads in what became the Gaza Strip after the war. And...

Then after the war, it went up to about 220,000. And by 1967, there were 360,000. Today we have 1.8 million ads in the Gaza Strip.

But going back to Azzah, the city, the city of Azzah, not what became the Gaza Strip. The city of Azzah already appears sometimes that it's a little bit under our radar. It's already in Pashas and Noah. We have the area of Canaan. Before we have Eretz Yisro, we have, it's mentioned that the land where Canaan, the son of Ham was, was from Sidon in the north, too.

We move on from then in terms of our connection to Azzah, moving from Pashas Noah to Rakhlacha, the promise to Avraham Avinu regarding Eretz Yisrael being given to Avraham Avinu's descendants. And those borders are actually mentioned also in Parashat Mishpatim, that the borders of Eretz Yisrael are from the Nahar Hagadol, Nahar Prat. to the Nahar of the Giant. Okay, the plus it tells us that from the Nahar of the Giant is...

A little bit of some disagreements exactly where it is. It's the Nile River or Wadi al-Arish, but I'm mentioning now in the context of the Gaza, it's clearly south. of Azev up to the Euphrates, the Nahar HaPrat, or the Nahar HaGadolf, and as I said in Parsha's Mishpatim also, the border is from which clearly includes

Aza, it was an ancient city at the time of Eretz Canaan, and then it's included clearly in the borders of Eretz Canaan promised to Avram Havino. And then moving on, in Sefer Yehoshua, we have... as is mentioned by name in Joshua Tesva, which is the paroch dealing with the Nachala of Shevet Yehuda. As the Pasuk tells us clearly, it's listed there that Aza b'nota v'chatsera until Nacho Mitzrayim is part of the Nachav Shevet Yerudah at the beginning of Sefer Shoftim.

Then we're told that Vayulchod Yehuda at Azzah, Shevet Yehuda, conquered the area of Azzah, but we did not have Jewish settlement yet in the area. Judah conquered the area of Gaza. Again, it's mentioned by name once again, but we do not have Jews settling there. We'll get to the Jewish settlement. right away. We have then a famous story connected to Aza's Shimshon. Shimshon going down to Aza, which at that time was a pushday stronghold. And that's why he was killed in Aza, right?

Right. And then we have later, also, under the rule, during the time of Shlomo HaMalach, the Besok and Sefer Malachim are telling us about the great rule of Shlomo. The Shlomo ruled from... in the north, which is northern Syria of today. That's what's mentioned specifically in .

It sounds like it's included. Do we know of any communities that lived in Aza? Did anybody famous live in Aza? Are there any Batik forest? I've heard that. Maybe Stroll Majora is buried in Aza. Do we have any evidence of Jews living there?

During the time of the Hashemah 9, Kaya Matityahu Kohen Gadot had five sons. The famous one is Yehuda HaMakabi, but Yehuda had a son. And during the time of Yonatan, we're talking about 145 BCE, Yonatan, brother of Yehudamakli, conquers Aza, and then afterwards...

Shimon is the next ruler. And under Shimon, from the family of the Maccabin, of the Hashmonaim, the Jews settled in Asa. That was the first time that we find Jewish settlement and as again we're talking about I had Shaney found the time of our professional name, Shaney, and this is a rule from... 142 BCE until 134 BCE. But then the Romans came to town after the Greeks. The Romans came to our area here in Eritrea and in 61 BCE the Jews were expelled from Aza by the Romans.

And then we find, though, that the Jews came back because we find Asa mentioned in Mara. We'll get right away to... the Knesset that was found during the time of the Gemara, but I find it's mentioned in the Gemara in Sanhedrin. The Gemara mentions that there was a certain place, a horvah, a ruin, which was It's called Chorvetav Shagirta, the Chorvetav Metzorah, and it connects to the Halachas of HaT.

Sarat, telepathy on houses, which also has a lot of confiscations. Rishon, the kofta of Asarach, who's famous for his writing about mitzvot connected to Eretz Yisrael, and even more than that, he... was so taken by studying the mitzvahs of Eretz-Essel that he left France and he came here to Eretz-Essel in the 1300s.

to study Eretz Yisrael from close to study Eretz Yisrael. He uses this point as a point supporting the fact that Azzah is considered Eretz Yisrael as far as Kedushah's Eretz Yisrael, as far as mitzvot haqfuyot ba'aret. And, uh, another extremely interesting gemara that's mentioned, Travis, that's a close name, and, hey, mentions it right there, that says, why are the birds of Bovell, why are the birds in Bovell fast?

And so then somebody else sitting in the basement just asked, do you think the birds are bubble and are fast? You haven't seen the birds of Azza. They're really fast. And then Mark goes on to say, experience in the context of ignore, we understand that the burden of The birds of Bubba are fat because they never went into exile. They're sitting pretty. When you sit in your place comfortably sitting pretty, the birds of Bubba got fat as opposed to the birds that are in our control went.

into exile, because the Jews went into exile, so when you're on the way, you don't eat well, so those birds that are in the show are not fat. But the other man number there said, wait, the birds are fat. And the, uh, oh, by the way, Rashi, they're on the spot. And made by Ava, Rashi says clearly that he may are to sell, that Ava is part of are to sell. And the Marsha there on that gemara says that...

Since Asa is part of Earth Israel, he quotes Rashmi, it's part of Earth Israel, but because of the fact that it's in this... Eretz pushed him. The birds of Aza did not go into Gauls. When Amisho was sent into exile, the birds in Aza still stayed put. So they became... and they were not on the road. Okay, so that's Azam mentioned in the Gemara. You mentioned the Beit Knesset in Azam.

the 17th century. It's fascinating that we found remains of a shul in Aza from the year And students mentioned the exact year, 569 is 6th century. school and how do we know what year it's from because there's a mosaic. floor that was found on the shul in Aza. And just like today, as the practices today, when people give donations, we put up a plaque in the shul in the yeshiva. plaque was put into the mosaic floor mentioning the names of the people that made the donation for the mosaic floor and

The names of Menachem and Yeshua are mentioned there. And the year is mentioned. It's the year five. And there are Hebrew, you know, if I can mention one interesting point about this mosaic floor on the shore of Gaza. And we're talking about the... century the year 569 that's before Islam came to the world Muhammad brought Islam to the world and the 7th century, in the 620s, okay? Muhammad was spreading Islam. Yeah, we're talking...

Pre-Islam, 569, there's a shul in Azza before Islam is in the world. And in that mosaic floor, we find a picture of a king playing the harp and the Hebrew letters, David. This is such an important sign that it's in the Israel Museum today. This was discovered against the Shul in Gaza from the 6th century before Islam was founded. This shawl was discovered accidentally in 1965, and subsequently another shawl was found in the area of...

Kibbutz Niram of today, which is outside the Gaza Strip of today, but it's right near the Gaza Strip, and it's also from that same time, from the 5th, 6th century. That was found already in the 1950s and was such an important find here in Israel. That's back in the day in the 1950s. When a 50-liter star was made, they put on the menorah and the shofar and Lola Vanessa that was found on the floor of that Beit Knesset. It's called Beit Knesset Ma'on.

to Kibbutz Mirim. Mirim was in the news now. One of the many, many points of attack. Kibbutz Mirim was attacked on October 7th, and there was an officer. It's really the same emotion. I'm next to that kibbutz in the room. You know, it'll take one minute if I'm already mentioning. I was at his levaya. He was commander of my son. in Givati who served under him. Asaf Hammami was an incredible personality. He was an officer in Tzau and he

He had a heart of gold. He used to take money from his own salary. slip it in an envelope to his soldiers who he knew needed financial assistance. without them knowing where I was coming from, is an incredible person, Asaf Hammami, again, in the Battle of Nerim on October 7th. So next to that we have the Beit Knesset alone. We're talking about a shul from the time, again, the time of the Gemara, a little bit after.

Okay, so 6th century Jewish life. And another one, an additional sign I'll mention because it's fascinating. It's actually the first artifact we can say that it was. Discovered. showing us Jewish life back in ancient times. Believe it or not, it was found in the Great Mosque of Allah. The Great Mask of Aza in Aza City had a pillar in the front that was able to be seen until the 1980s. You were able to see an engraving of a menorah.

And a shofar on it with Hebrew letters beneath it saying, Hananya ben Yaakov. There were Greek letters as well, Aramaic letters. Again, a donation by Hananya ben Yaakov. And somehow that... That engraving was incorporated into the building, which then... Became a mask before I was a mask

Back in the day, it was a crusader church in the 12th century, and with time it became a mosque. The Arabs picked up on the fact that Jews were interested in this, and that's why I said you were able to see it until the 1980s, because they scraped it off already, the Arabs. the engraving of the menorah and it no longer was able to be seen.

In terms of communities of Jews living in Gaza, we have testimonies by different people who visited Gaza over the years. We have... The famous Ravavadya Bhartanur, the Mishnah, who came here to Israel in 1486, writes that he went to visit Azhar. He speaks about it as a beautiful city. The way that he puts it is, and he writes that there are 70 Jewish families.

in Oslo. Again, that's in 1486. We have the Radbaz, Rabbi David Ben-Zimraz, Rabbi of the Ariza, okay, lived in the 16th century, and he is answering questions as far as whether people in Aza are chayip to be mafresh. And this shows clearly that there was a Jewish community in Gaza in the 16th century. And we have the, well, you mentioned Rabbi Yisrael Najjar. Rabbi Yisrael Najjar, a postdoc, and he was the... He originally came from Damascus.

He was born in 1555, and he came to Eretz. He saw first he was in Svat, and he made his way down to Aza. composed Corey Vaughan and he was Mr. Inaza. Buried in Aaza. We don't know exactly where he's buried. There are a couple of different theories as to where the spot is. Again, we're talking about Gaza City. So we're not talking about the whole Gaza Strip. We narrow it down. There are a couple of different proposals, speculations, and support for the different areas. We don't know the exact...

So there is a Jewish cemetery that we just don't know where it is. Exactly. I have heard stories about different rabbis going to Ava to Gabin by his cava. I don't know if you've ever heard those. There's a story of the division of Tadabba. Right, that's right. Thank you very much. connected to Kari Bohm, sorry the Mishnitzereba was driving down south and he saw the sign for Aza instead of going to Ashkod for Ashkelon direction he told the driver to go to Aza and

He wanted to dive in and sing karibon near the kever of the bachaber of karibon somewhere you saw in the jar. That's fantastic. This is really fantastic. Rabari, thank you for making Ava a lifetime. Sure, you know, I'll just mention one more point as we jump ahead in the history of Jewish presence in Asia existed until the riots of 1929. So that...

So at that time, the Jews in other areas were also in danger, and that was the end of the Jewish settlement in Azzah. There was a Jewish community there before. It really shrunk at the time of World War I. And the last rav of Azzah... Agnesim Ohana left a little bit before. for World War I, and he ended up actually moving from Gaza. He moved to the United States. He was a robber.

in Manhattan of a Syrian community, a Khalibi community, for two years in Manhattan. And then he came back to, he came back to Eretz-Safil. He was in Egypt for a short while, and then he came back to Eretz-Safil. He was the chief out of this party. Chief Rabbi of Haifa for many, many years. He's buried in Haifa. of a Jewish community in Azzah. In Azzah's city. Wow. Wow.

It's interesting. Something interesting that he writes about is the fact that when he lived in Aza, he heard one night a knock at the door. He opened the door, and it's the mufti. of the city of Aza is at his door. He said, what do you want? How can I help you? And they will say, tell me.

He invites them into the house, and he tells them that there are some Christian missionaries in the town that came to Azan. He wanted help in responding to the missionaries. He wanted help in being able to be more familiar with them. response to the Christian mission, right? Because I understood up. He ended up putting out that on a regular basis he met with a Mufti and he ended up putting out a statement called that it was based on his studies together with the Musta of Asma.

And then we have an afterwards Jewish community that was founded after 1967. Saul went back to Yudav Shomrodim. He went back to Aza. And we have a Jewish community that was founded. Throughout the 70s interestingly enough in the 70s the founding of the show What became Netzer Chazani was the first yeshuv in Gush Katif. Yitzhak Rabin was there and spoke about the celebration of... settlement in this That's very important.

area. In Negotiqatis, we had, by 2005, we had 21 Jewish communities in Aza, both in Negotiqatis. And that was the end of a Jewish settlement in Aza. And in recent times, maybe I'll finish off with the radak. There's a very interesting radak in Parashas Koldos that speaks about Eretz Bishnam, connected to something that we spoke about a few minutes, this gray area, sort of, regarding Aza. where we didn't have It's part of that. We didn't have the settlement there.

So the Radak, the Rishan, the Radak writes that Eretz wisdom is part, clearly it's part of Eretz Israel, but we didn't have a hold on it. And he says that even though it was given over, it was... We will only have a clear hold on it. Thank you very much for your time. My pleasure. Be well.
